Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is calling on New York Mayor Eric Adams to step down after a series of federal raids and investigations into his inner circle.
A New York congresswoman known for left-wing opposition to her fellow Democrats is calling on Big Apple Mayor Eric Adams to resign after a series of raids on his top aides and others in his inner circle in connection with a federal investigation. 'I do not see how Mayor Adams can continue governing New York City,' Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez wrote on X. Ocasio-Cortez's district includes parts of two New York City boroughs.
Rumors of a pending resignation have swirled for days following raids on Caban and his twin brother, a safety consultant. James Caban is facing an investigation for allegedly leveraging his NYPD connections to protect nightclubs from police scrutiny.
For the good of the city, he should resign,' Ocasio-Cortez added Wednesday. Winnie Greco, another Adams aide, was also raided in connection with a campaign fundraising investigation. Adams appointed Caban as the NYPD's first Hispanic commissioner in July 2023. He has been replaced by Interim Commissioner Tom Donlon, a retired FBI agent who previously led the National Threat Center and oversaw the Terrorism Watch List. Fox News' Michael Dorgan and CB Cotton contributed to this report.
